Tensor Developer Summit 2020

[alimanfoo]

There will be a Tensor Developer Summit in March at UC Berkeley: https://xd-con.org/tensor-2020/

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend, but Stéfan van der Walt (local organiser) reached out to say that anyone from @zarr-developers/core-devs would be welcome.

[jakirkham]

Yeah I saw this as well. Unfortunately have too much going on around that time to go. Though agree it would be nice if someone could attend.

[jrbourbeau]

I'll be out of town at that time unfortunately. Looks like an awesome event

I can tentatively attend, I've been pushing Zarr heavily at work (QuantumBlack) and I could probably convince them to send me along!

👍

P.S. QuantumBlack definitely wins the prize for the sexiest website, very smart 😄

I am really pleased that someone from zarr (@mzjp2) can attend this important event.

Will be taking lots of notes and write up the things relevant to Zarr and share it back. Looking forward to it! 🤞

[ryan-williams]

I applied to attend (and speak, if appropriate), I think before the deadline last week. I don't think I've heard back yet but am excited to try to go as well

[jakirkham]

Thanks for doing that Ryan! 😄

[ryan-williams]

Update: I heard back that I'm on the list for the event as well, so I'll be there!

[mzjp2]

Same, see you there @ryan-williams! 😀

[jakirkham]

This is great! Thank you both for representing Zarr there! 😄

[jakirkham]

Is the summit still happening? Asking as I know some events have been canceled due to the Coronavirus.

[mzjp2]

Nope, cancelled and a tentative proposal to reconsider a date in ~September, subject to change.

Thanks for the update Zain! I'm guessing you already saw this @ryan-williams 😉
